It's a bug in 1.1.1x and 2.0 that affects IE8, and I believe Chrome.  If session length is set to 60, it will throw the cookie error.  If session length is "Always stay logged in", or "Forever", or anything other than 60, login will work.  Not too difficult to edit the code to eliminate the problem.

Of course, would be a lot simpler if SMF fixed the bug.

I can't reproduce this in either 1.1.x or 2.0. Tried both IE8 and Chrome. Both log in without problems using a 60 minute default.

Roahn, I very much doubt that this is annoying "millions of users" given that it does seem to work for a lot of people. This is the first time I have seen this mentioned as being a problem.

where did you tried loggin in ? in this SMF's official site ? I suggest you to try on any other smf powered forum...

and about that 1 million users.. I said that because i have over 20,000 unique visits daily and over 1,50,000 page views/day... and there are other smf sites too... so if not 1 million then you can say 100k easily

No I tried logging in at several SMF sites, both 1.1.x and 2.0. Couldn't trigger that bug.

It happens on all of my test installs, which are pretty much out-of-the-box.
